新时代社会主要矛盾对历史辩证法的新发展

New Developments in Historical Dialectics Regarding the Principal Social Contradictions in the New Era

新时代我国社会主要矛盾转化为“人民日益增长的美好生活需要和不平衡不充分的发展之间的矛盾”。马克思通过对黑格尔“概念辩证法”的唯物主义改造,创立了“历史辩证法”。历史辩证法揭示了人类社会历史发展的“一般原理”,但马克思并没有专门论述社会主义建设规律。社会主要矛盾是历史辩证法的“特殊原理”,是衡量社会主义进步的“客观标尺”。新矛盾对历史辩证法的新发展主要表现在三个方面:社会主要矛盾的转化是量变到质变的渐进过程;社会主要矛盾双方包括“目的项”和“条件项”,两者是对立统一的相互规定;新矛盾不是对旧矛盾的彻底否定,而是对旧矛盾的“扬弃”。

The principal social contradiction in the new era has transformed into“the contradiction between the unbalanced and inadequate development and the people’s ever-growing needs for a better life”.Marx created“historical dialectics”by making materialist changes into Hegel’s“conceptual dialectics”.Historical dialectics reveals the“general principles”of historical development of human society,but Marx did not specifically discuss the laws of socialist construction.The principal social contradiction is a“special principle”of historical dialectics and serves as an“objective criterion”for assessing socialist progress.The new contradiction’s development in historical dialectics is primarily reflected in three aspects:the transformation of the principal social contradiction is a gradual process from quantitative to qualitative change;the two sides of the principal social contradiction include both“objective terms”and“conditional terms”which are mutually determined in a dialectical unity;and the new contradiction is not complete negation of the old contradiction but a“sublation”.
